INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY – 30 SEPTEMBER 2017 | PAGE 2

CEO’s comments on the Group’s development during the period The Group enjoyed a strong third quarter with high growth and an operating profit more than double the figure achieved in the corresponding period last year. The market conditions were generally good, which contributed to incoming orders also being satisfactory during the quarter. For the entire nine-month period, the Group reported a growth in sales of 57 per cent, of which Jorgensen contributed 40 per cent, and an operating profit which exceeded that achieved last year by 93 per cent. The profit margin increased from 10.0 to 12.2 per cent, while earnings per share rose from SEK 4.43 to SEK 8.37.

During the first nine months of the year, the Industrial Solutions business unit almost doubled its sales compared to the comparison period. This increase can primarily be attributed to the acquisition of Jorgensen, although organic growth was also good. The improvement in operating profit was even more marked. Jorgensen made a significant contribution here too, and other companies in the business unit continued to perform well. The extent of completed project deliveries to the packaging sector was significantly higher than last year, and incoming orders in respect of new projects remained good. In order to safeguard capacity, preparations are currently being made to strengthen resources, including by expanding production areas.

The companies in the Precision Technology business unit reported an overall increase in volume and significantly improved profitability compared to the first nine months of last year. This positive outcome has been able to be achieved thanks to successfully implemented marketing initiatives and strategic, capacity-boosting investments, activities that remain high priorities within the business unit. At the same time, the economic situation has been stable and positive for an extended period. There have been no major changes in recent times, even though the conditions vary somewhat between the industry sectors.

Operations within the Rotational Moulding business unit, despite the restraint demonstrated within individual market segments, were able to report slightly higher invoicing than during the comparison period. After a certain decline in incoming orders during late summer, sales increased once more towards the end of the period, and the situation is now more favourable than at the same time last year.

Marketing activities within prioritised areas, as well as the supplementing of the proprietary product ranges, are the focus for the immediate future.

Ahead of the final quarter of the year, the Group as a whole is enjoying a better market and order situation than at the corresponding time last year. Just as prior to the third quarter of the year, this relates in particular to projectrelated operations for the packaging industry, although the market trend is expected to remain mostly positive for the immediate future within all the Group’s industry sectors.

Revenue and profit The interim period Net revenue totalled SEK 1,231 million (783). Operating profit amounted to SEK 166 million (86), corresponding to an operating margin of 13.5 per cent (11.0). Profit before tax was SEK 150 million (79).

The third quarter Net revenue totalled SEK 378 million (226). Operating profit amounted to SEK 52 million (24), corresponding to an operating margin of 13.8 per cent (10.6). Profit before tax was SEK 50 million (21).

Share data and key figures The interim period Basic earnings per share were SEK 8.37 (4.43). Equity per share was SEK 35.66 (28.93). The average number of outstanding shares was 13,813,490 during the period. The equity/assets ratio was 32 per cent (42) at the end of the period. The average number of employees was 799 (654).

Important events during the period Following a decision at the Annual General Meeting, a 2:1 split of the Parent Company’s shares was conducted in June.

Events after the end of the period There are no individual events of major significance to report after the balance sheet date.

Investments The interim period Net investments in non-current assets amounted to SEK 23 million (30), of which SEK 3 million related to intangible assets, SEK 4 million to real estate and SEK 16 million to machinery and equipment.

The third quarter Net investments in non-current assets amounted to SEK 10 million (10), of which SEK 2 million related to intangible assets, SEK 4 million to real estate and SEK 4 million to machinery and equipment.

Cash flow and liquidity Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 23 million (56) in the interim period.

Liquid assets, including lines of credit granted but not utilised, totalled SEK 312 million (218) on the balance sheet date.

Number of shares and voting rights At the Annual General Meeting on 10 May 2017, it was decided to increase the number of shares by splitting each existing share into two new shares of the same type (2:1 split). The split was conducted in June, with 9 June as the record date.

Costs related to convertible bonds amount to SEK 1,714 thousand (1,081) for the interim period and SEK 1,659 thousand for the 2016 full year.

2)

A 2:1 share split was carried out in June 2017. After the share split, the total number of shares stands at 14,093,490, divided between 3,644,400 class A shares and 10,449,090 class B shares. After deduction for the company’s own holding, 280,000 class B shares, the number of outstanding shares is 13,813,490. Due to the share split, all comparison figures have been recalculated.

On 1 July 2016, convertibles at a nominal value of SEK 62,130,000 were issued to employees within the XANO Group. The convertibles accrue interest corresponding to STIBOR 3M plus 2.20% and fall due for payment on 30 June 2020. The conversion rate was originally SEK 218. Due to the share split, the conversion rate has been recalculated in accordance with section 8B of the terms and conditions. The recalculated conversion rate is SEK 109. During the period 1 June to 12 June 2020, each convertible may be converted to one Class B share in XANO Industri AB. If all convertibles are converted to shares, the dilution will be approx. 4 per cent of the share capital and 1.2 per cent of the number of votes based on the total number of shares on the balance sheet date.

INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY – 30 SEPTEMBER 2017 | PAGE 11

Auditor’s review report Introduction We have reviewed the interim report for XANO Industri AB (publ) as at 30 September 2017 and for the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act with regard to the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act with regard to the Parent Company.
